Win a Trip!

(January 3, 2013) One reader and a guest will win a week's stay at a Biggest Loser Resort of your choice (locations in Utah, California and New York). You'll receive group fitness training and nutrition classes and enjoy spa cuisine meals to get a jumpstart on your weight loss goals. Value, $4,590.

Buy a used bicycle at a garage sale or ask your local police department when they're next auctioning off unclaimed bikes. If you buy one for as little as $50, then search for local bike trails on TrailLink.com, your workout is practically free!

If you sign up for four different gyms' free trials, you can work out for a month without spending a dime.

3) Gym fees can be negotiable: If you speak up about wanting to save, some health clubs may waive an initiation fee, or throw in free personal training sessions to convince you to join.

4) Some health centers will offer a less expensive rate—usually called a household rate—if you sign up with at least one other person you live with, which could mean a husband, child or roommate.

5) Great Deal: Go to GoldsGym.com/WD to get a special discounted enrollment fee of $39 (typically $99) and save 20% on membership dues ($500 for a year) for the length of your contract at participating Gold's Gyms nationwide. Offer is valid through January 31, 2013.
